It saddens me greatly to have to report that the NYPD Officer, Brian Moore, who was shot in the head on Saturday by some animal thug is now dead after his family finally took him off life support:
SILIVE – Police Officer Brian Moore, who was shot in the head by an ex-convict in Queens, has died from his injuries, according to multiple reports.
Moore, 25, died when his family took him off life-support at Jamaica Hospital, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
Police Commissioner William Bratton arrived at the hospital shortly after Moore’s death.
The officer had been in a coma since the incident and underwent surgery for what court papers described as “severe injuries to his skull and brain.”
The suspect, Demetrius Blackwell, was ordered held without bail Sunday.
Police say Blackwell fired at Moore and his partner as they sat in plainclothes in an unmarked police car Saturday night. They stopped him after seeing him tugging at his waistband.
Staten Island politicians, as well as officials throughout the city, expressed their condolences on Twitter moments after word of his death spread.
RIP PO Brian Moore. EOW 05/04/2015.
